ALWAYS PRESCRIBING. Loashy is the only chemist in X.Z. who devotea all his businessttiem e to prescribing. Now patients are surprised to see my waiting room full of patients all waiting to "ASK LOASBY ABOUT IT." This has gone on for years and years. If I wi\s not successful in treating all minor troubles I would not be kept busy all day doing nothing else but prescribing. Patients would not continue to make me their prescribing chemist unless my treatment did them good. I treat all kinds of minor aliments—just those ensea that are not bad enough for the doctor vet makes the patient dissatisfied with his health. If you are not quite well come right nwav a.hd "Ask Loaßby About It." A. M. LOASBY (with W. F. McArthur), The Only Prescribing Chemist, 673 Colombo street, Christchurch. L 6373-1 •
